Uncle Rick's universe is My Home, okay?
I go back to it every year and it feels freeing.
However going home every year can sometimes get... bland. Especially when the present family members aren't your favourite.

Don't get me wrong, these characters are cool. They just don't stand out. Not like Riordan's other characters. Shout out however to the lesbians who gave up immortality to grow old together and raise a kid. You. Are. Amazing.

The story is also just as fun and lighthearted as always... but we're used to that now.

I knew what I was going to get when starting Trials of Apollo: a fun adventure with laugh out loud moments in a world I have been living in for almost ten years. And yeah, that's what I got. I didn't get much more though...

Book 3 brings back one of my old faves so I cannot wait to see him, Meg and Apollo evolve more and develop more complexity and depth in their characters.
Bring. It. On.
